Thread painting is something

lots of people are interested in learning - and as a result I have held an ongoing thread painting series - starting with simple subjects working up to making a full wall hanging. One of our members, Phyllis did this thread painted robin on a pussywillow branch - This is just one of the subjects they girls have learned in our classes.

About Me

I spent many years doing Quilted Fabric landscapes - but recently have gotten back into designing Knitting and crochet projects.
I have a background in watercolor and oils and have spent much of my life teaching what I know to others. Teaching is a passion of mine and I have found a way to teach on line on two different subjects. I have found that women are willing to help each other learn new things and that all it needs is someone to put the teachers and the students together in a workshop and the most wonderful things happen. It opens doors for both.
